What are you waiting on to arrive...?

Socks! Darn Tough socks. They are the best!



Oh, ah, er... You mean shaving related?

Actually I like the socks What brand?

 

Darn Tough -- that's the brand name! Built like it too. Lifetime warranty! I'm a huge fan. Getting rid of most of my others.

 

Thanks, gonna go check them out. I am a fan of a bit thicker, durable socks. Thanks!

 

The ones I've gotten so far are mid weight. These are my first over the calf. They also make specialty socks like ones with extra padding on the shins for skiers. Honestly, I never knew socks could feel so good.

 

Picked up three NIB Personna injector razors along with three packs NIB packs of seven blades each. In addition to that each case comes with four blades.
In total that's 3 NIB Personna razors in cases and 33 injector blades - a rather fair deal for $40

 

More shave soap, like a really need more shave soap.

Been wanting to try these two for awhile so bit the bullet and pulled the trigger.

Meißner Tremonia Dark Limes Shaving Soap
Meißner Tremonia Himalayan Heights Shaving Soap

 

The hard puck version??

 

I really like the Himalayan Heights - great peformer, very nice scent. The Dark Limes was ... well ... too much Lime for my taste But someone who loves lime gets exactly what he's looking for. And btw: The Black Beer No 1 has a very nice citrus scent as well - just in case you need more soap ...

 

I've tried four or five of the MTs, and my favorite by far is the Pots of Milk. Not much of a scent, but the performance was probably the best I've ever experienced.

Good thing about Meissner is the difference between their different varieties. Most other producers make a large batch of soap, split it and just add different fragrances. This is not the case with Meissner, it seems, who actually use different ingredients for each of their soaps.

 

I am waiting for quite a lot now. Most excited about a tub of Bufflehead soap, which is made with DUCK FAT(!). Really curious to try it. Also, from Maggards, I'm waiting for a full tub of LASSC Bespoke, a Mickey Lee Unforgiven, and one of their fat handles, the MR8. Finally, from Connaughts, there is an R41 replacement head on its way. Man, my *ADs are on the loose!

 

Still waiting on my Gillette Aristocrat Junior... Seems to be in USPS black hole of death. ChicagoMetroHub. Sounds like a swell place.

 

This is becoming more of an issue. It drives me insane when shipping gets held up for no reason.

 

Great razor - my favorite of the vintages so far

 

In transit via the USPS…

Tony Miller Artisan Old No. 2™ Specially Finished Premium Fast Bridle Leather with matching Fast Bridle leather trim and Handles.

• Front component: medium/heavy 8 to 9 oz. premium bridle-type leather that has been specially finished to provide a fast, light draw. Buttery smooth with a velvet-like draw and needs no breaking in. Hand-worked to give just the right suppleness and to help it resist cupping.
• Joined at the top to a second component of heavy-weight, medium-weave cotton. This standard heavy weight cotton second component works well alone or could be pasted with diamond spray or chromium oxide.
• Original design heavy 3-ply leather handles with an 3" wide x 17" long stropping surface. All strop edges are back beveled, rounded, and beaded. The heavy 3-ply handles and trim pieces are also rounded, back beveled and burnished for a more uniform appearance. 'Chicago Screw' construction making them modular for easy component replacement should it be needed. 29" overall.

 

I am waiting on two silvertip badger knots from Virginia Sheng and three pure badger knots from ganvillage_green in China.

 

Yes

 

Prices go up. Service gets worse. Great business model.

 

Actually I use a sock similar to that at bedtime to help with a nerve issue that has made my right foot cold for a year or so.

 

The latest USPS Budget cuts have caused a number of "Black Holes". In some places, Priority Mail day delivery is 3 days. First Class mail seems to be the most affected, lots of Black Holes; 4 days from Sugarland to Amarillo, Texas only 38 miles apart. The new reality!
